Have you ever puzzled over how to perform Boolean logic? Or wondered how you can carry out more general calculations using one single molecule or a surface dangling bond atomic scale circuit? This volume gives you an update on the design of single molecule devices, such as recitfiers, switches and transistors, and describes their interconnection in a circuit using adapted nano-scale wiring. The main contributors to the field of single molecule logic gates and surface dangling bond atomic scale circuits theory and design, are once again brought together to contribute on topics such as molecule circuits, surface dangling bond circuits, quantum controlled logic gates and molecular qubits. Contributions in this volume originate from the Barcelona workshop of the AtMol conference series, held from January 12-13 2012.

Dr Christian Joachim is First Class Director of Research at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Nanoscience group (GNS) at CEMES/CNRS Toulouse and Adjunct Professor of Nanosciences and Quantum resources at ISAE. He coordinated the EU-sponsored projects: BUN ('Bottom-up Nanomachines') and Pico-Inside and directed 2 NATO Advanced Research Workshops on Nanoscale Sciences in the early 1990s. He is currently in charge of the French Midi-Pyrenees research effort in Nanoscience (CPER Campus G. Dupouy) and of the new European Integrated Project AtMol. He is also A STAR VIP attached to IMRE to develop atomic scale technology in Singapore and WPI in charge of the Toulouse MANA satellite (MEXT Japan).
